The lifting tongs.


As the name suggest this is a tool used to lift the hot crucible from the furnace... Trust me a red hot crucible filled with molten metal isn't something you want to tackle "hands-on".. I made these tongs to ensure once the crucible is locked onto it there is no chance of it falling out or slipping and spilling the hot liquid metal.




It might be a tad over-engineered, but hey that's my way.
